Phước Khánh Bridge
Phuoc Khanh Bridge (), is a bridge being constructed that aims to cross over the Lòng Tàu River, a distributary of the Saigon River and Đồng Nai River in Vietnam. Description Planning and Design Phuoc Khanh Bridge is being constructed as a cable-stayed road bridge and would be the third bridge of the Ben Luc – Long Thanh Expressway project, itself part of the larger North–South Expressway East and Ring Road 3 of Ho Chi Minh City. Phuoc Khanh Bridge would cross the Long Tau River, connecting Cần Giờ District with the Nhơn Trạch District, Dong Nai province. It would also serve as a link to the Bien Hoa–Vung Tau Expressway which would ultimately provide a Southeast Asian beltway that would go through Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Ho Chi Minh City, and Vung Tau together. The bridge is designed to be long and wide. When completed, Phuoc Khanh Bridge and Binh Khanh Bridge would be the two bridges with the highest clearance for boat traffic in Vietnam (55 meters).

Automobiles
A car, or an automobile, is a motor vehicle with wheels. Most definitions of cars state that they run primarily on roads, Car seat, seat one to eight people, have four wheels, and mainly transport private transport#Personal transport, people rather than cargo. There are around one billion cars in use worldwide. The French inventor Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot built the first steam-powered road vehicle in 1769, while the Swiss inventor François Isaac de Rivaz designed and constructed the first internal combustion-powered automobile in 1808. The modern car—a practical, marketable automobile for everyday use—was invented in 1886, when the German inventor Carl Benz patented his Benz Patent-Motorwagen. Commercial cars became widely available during the 20th century. The 1901 Oldsmobile Curved Dash and the 1908 Ford Model T, both American cars, are widely considered the first mass-produced and mass-affordable cars, respectively. Cars were rapidly adopted in the US, where they replac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cable-stayed
A cable-stayed bridge has one or more ''towers'' (or ''pylons''), from which cables support the bridge deck. A distinctive feature are the cables or stays, which run directly from the tower to the deck, normally forming a fan-like pattern or a series of parallel lines. This is in contrast to the modern suspension bridge, where the cables supporting the deck are suspended vertically from the main cable, anchored at both ends of the bridge and running between the towers. The cable-stayed bridge is optimal for spans longer than cantilever bridges and shorter than suspension bridges. This is the range within which cantilever bridges would rapidly grow heavier, and suspension bridge cabling would be more costly. Cable-stayed bridges found wide use in the late 19th century. Early examples, including the Brooklyn Bridge, often combined features from both the cable-stayed and suspension designs. Cable-stayed designs fell from favor in the early 20th century as larger gaps were br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trucks
A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport freight, carry specialized payloads, or perform other utilitarian work. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration, but the vast majority feature body-on-frame construction, with a cabin that is independent of the payload portion of the vehicle. Smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some automobiles. Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful and may be configured to be mounted with specialized equipment, such as in the case of refuse trucks, fire trucks, concrete mixers, and suction excavators. In American English, a commercial vehicle without a trailer or other articulation is formally a "straight truck" while one designed specifically to pull a trailer is not a truck but a "Tractor unit, tractor". The majority of trucks currently in use are powered by diesel engines, although small- to medium-size trucks with gasoline engines exist in North America. Electric truck, Electrically powered tr ...
